Additionally to the standard supplies the Home Cinema
packages MX 980, MX 999 contain:
– a subwoofer including a connection cable and a mains
cable
– 5 loudspeakers including 5 speaker cables
– a coaxial cable for video connection with a DVD player or a
TV set
– a quick installation card
For the standard supplies of your receiver see chapter
“GENERAL INFORMATION / Scope of supply” in the
instruction manual.
• Install the subwoofer wherever you like because with the
bass sound range reproduced from the subwoofer (below
150 Hz) human hearing cannot detect the direction and
position where the sound is being produced.
• Also, since the feeling of stereo is lost with bass
frequencies, a single subwoofer is enough for reproducing
the bass of stereo channels.
• To obtain a better bass reproduction, we recommend that
you place the subwoofer on a solid floor where resonance
is unlikely to occur.
• Always place the subwoofer vertically, keeping a few
centimeters away from the wall.
• Do not place any object on the subwoofer or sit on it.
• If the subwoofer is placed in the center of a room, the bass
could be extremely weakened. This is due to the influence
of the standing wave of the room. If this happens, move the
subwoofer away from the center of the room or eliminate
the cause of the standing wave by installing a bookshelf on
the wall, etc.
Important!
Before you operate the subwoofer, complete the preparation
procedures. Switch on your receiver and select the sound
source.
The type plate is located on the rear of the subwoofer.
1 Use the cinch cable supplied to connect AUDIO IN to
SUBWOOFER PRE-OUT on the receiver.
2 Check whether the mains voltage as shown on the type
plate corresponds to your local mains voltage. If it does not,
consult your dealer or service organization.
3 After all connections have been made, connect the
AC mains cable to the receiver or the wall outlet.
To disconnect the subwoofer from the mains completely,
remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
1 To activate the subwoofer, set the on/off switch at the rear
of the subwoofer to ON position.
2 Rotate VOLUME clockwise until there is a click.
yThe LED indicator lights up in green.
If the subwoofer is not to be used for a longer period of time,
it is advisable to set the on/off switch to OFF position.
• Rotate VOLUME anticlockwise until there is a click.
yThe LED indicator light turns red.
You can adjust the subwoofer to suit the sound level of your
front speakers. Reinforcing the bass sound gives you a
greater sense of atmosphere.
1 Adjust the VOLUME on the receiver until the sound from
the front speakers is not distorted. If it is distorted, the
sound from the subwoofer will also be distorted.
2 Play your favourite songs. Male vocal tunes containing bass
sounds are most suitable for adjustment.
3 Adjust the VOLUME on the subwoofer to determine the
loudness of the bass sound from the subwoofer.
• Use PHASE SELECTOR located
at the rear of the subwoofer to
select the phase polarity.
Selecting the polarity at either 0° or 180° may determine
better bass reproduction effect in certain listening
environments (depending on the type of front speakers and the
position of the subwoofer). It may also change the expanse
and tightness of sound, and affect the feeling of sound field.
• Select the setting that provides the sound you prefer when
listening in your usual listening position. Repeat the
adjustment for volume and phase polarity to suit your
preference.
Once you have adjusted the subwoofer to the settings you
desire, use the VOLUME control on the receiver to adjust the
volume of the subwoofer and the other speakers. You do not
need to adjust the subwoofer settings again even when you
change the volume level of the receiver.
